MISCELLANEOUS.
An offer was made by the Metropolitan Public Gardens, &c.
Association to entertain applications for free labour "to be utilized s
in providing gardens or play grounds for the free use of the public.
or the planting of trees throughout the thoroughfares of youi
Parish."It did not appear to the Vestry that the offer could bed
advantageously accepted.
A suggestion was made on behalf of the owners that the Vestry
should take the disused Victoria Park Cemetery, in Green Street,
subject to a perpetual rent charge of £21 per annum, and a rent
of £22 10s. per annum up to Lady-day, 1912, for the purpose of
converting it into and maintaining it as a pleasure or recreation
ground. The subject was referred to a Committee, who, after
visiting the ground, considered it was not desirable to accept the
offer.
